Defendant United States, under LR IA 11-3 and LR IA 11-6, respectfully requests that

The United States Department of Justice appointed Dennis C. Bastron to serve as Special
3
Attorney in this case on November 6, 2017, see Doc. 57-1 at 2-3, to take the place of Katherine V.
4
Foss. He is permitted to practice before this Court because this motion is brought “by the
5
employing federal entity.” LR IA 11-3; see also LR IA 11-6(c) (requiring approval from the client).
6
The substitution of Dennis C. Bastron for Katherine V. Foss will not delay pretrial proceedings,
7
trial, or hearings. See LR IA 11-6(c). Thus, this Court should allow Dennis C. Bastron to be
8
substituted in Katherine V. Foss’s place and terminate Katherine V. Foss as an attorney of record.

Respectfully submitted on November 30, 2017.
